) JANE JORDAN—I have in going with a boy about two Last summer he got into trouble the day before we to be married, I promised him “would wait for him, although it fill be two years before he gets f prison. With the exception f my mother, the rest of the fam4ly thinks I did wrong in telling 3 I would wait. Please tell me ou think I was wrong. Should : WONDERING. ” ” n Answer—I am afraid that I am on the side of those members of your family who think it unwise lor you to promise to wait. In your place I would be. afraid to marry a boy who cannot function without, getting into trouble with gociety. It is obvious that he is nob ready to carry the responsibilities of marriage and it is doubtful that two years imprisonment is *{ going to make him any better. ~ '. It is particularly significant that | he got into trouble the day before you were to be married. What does this indicate to any thinking pergon? It indicates that his approaching marriage did not mean very ~~ much to him or he would not have risked its consummation. ~~ You simply cannot find any ex- ~ euses for him which detract from the truth of this statement. If the marriage had meant as much

si : to .him as it did to you he would

"have avoided trouble at all costs. ~~ The chances are that the boy is amature and lacking in the ability <co-operate with others. That he ‘a very poor matrimonial risk is ~ gertain. You would be perfectly ~ justified in foreseeing an unsatis[factory life in which an infantile ~~ husband would expect to come home ~ pnd be forgiven for anything he might do. Perhaps you think it is unfair to kick a man when he is down. How- _ pver, when you let such a man take “full consequences of his own 8, it is not a kick but a perfectly \ fair penalty. To remdVe the penalty is not to make a better man of him but simply to encourage his iitdish expectance of forgiveness. man who gets involved with w the day before he is to be ed stands to lose the bride. She is under no obligation whatever to wait for him or save him from disappointment. Hé himself may no lenger be interested when he returns.

What I have told you may sound hard but it is true none theless. Think it over and if you still want to risk waiting, it is your privilege to do so. JANE JORDAN.

want to glean all possible facts from

The seven tips from the home economists are a starter toward getting money’s worth-and coupon’s worth. : 1. For good nutrition, make point-rationed foods fit into planning of balanced meals. Most people are familiar with the classes of foods everyone needs: Milk, citrus fruit, tomatoes or other vitamin C-rich food; green and yellow vegetables; other vegetables and fruits; meat or alternate main-dish foods

or peas; grain products; fats. Keep these needs in mind when you trade ration coupons for canned, frozen, or dried - foods—and don’t duplicate what you can buy fresh. Re-

the pressure off processed foods. » 2 »

Read the Label—

2. READ THE LABEL for all it can tell about quantity, quality, ingredients and use. You may learn facts—some = unexpected—to guide buying. Noting how many halves of peach or pear a can contains, for example, may help planning servings. 3. Choose the size of can most ecenomical for your use. It's not hard to become proficient in doing quick sums when buying ... . as a rule, 16 ounces, or 1 fluid pint, or 1 pound, will fill 2 cups of the kitchen measuring size . , . 32 ounces, or 1 fluid quart, or 2 pounds, will fill 4 cups. . . . You may want to make your own table of some equivalents, to keep in purse or in kitchen. 4. For efficiency, buy the quality for your purpose. You don’t need grade A, or fancy fruit to cut up in salad or pie. On the other hand, you may want a high grade where looks and perfection count. Under a new office of price administration order, canned citrus products already must be grade labeled according to U. S. government standards, and OPA has announced it plans grade labeling of this kind for most. of the 1943 pack of fruits and vegetables. ”

” ‘Waste Not'—

5. AT HOME, put processed foods where they will keep best until needed. Store tinned foods where it’s dry to prevent rust and spoilage. Store foods canned in glass in a dry, dark and cool place. Keep dried fruits cool. Keep quick-frozen foods solidly frozen until needed, either in a frozen food locker or in the freezing compartment of a mechanical refrigerator. These foods should not be kept too long in a mechanical refrigerator, even in the freezing compartment. Once frozen foods thaw, don’t try to refreeze them. 6. Cook all foods quickly, to hold vitamin content. Heat destroys some vitamins, particularly vitamin C and B vitamin known as thiamine, Canned vegetables are already cooked and need only to be brought to boiling at the last minute to be served hot. : 7. Use all good juices—waste none. Liquids in can or jar contain a goodly amount of .the vitamins and minerals of the food. Serve

whenever possible. it in sauces,

Otherwise, use gravies, soups. Use

choice. Or keep it cold and use soon in beverages or as sweetening for desserts.

The Idaho Potato Joins The Army’s Food

CHICAGO, March 1 (U. P).— Exit the mealy, de luxe Idaho potato. Government agencies have taken over virtually the entire potato crop from Idaho for the armed forces and lend-lease, mercantile authorities report. Potatoes from other parts of the country, including. Florida, are being substituted. Potato experts explained that while they may not please the gourmand, gourmets will find them an improved mashed potato. Reports of a consumer potato shortage persist despite denial in official quarters. The department of agriculture described the potato market as “confused and full of turmoil.” Trade circles both denied and confirmed possible shortage,

In New York

‘by Helen Worden

- NEW YORK, March 1—Today Whalen’s Indiana-born assistant.

I looked up Mary Jarwick, Grover I wanted to find out if she’d have

any part in Mr. Whalen’s new job as head of New York’s civilian defense. “No,” she told me. “In fact I knew nothing of the appointment un-

til I read about it in the paper.”

Mary first went to work for Mr. Whalen 11 years ago. She applied

for a job at Wanamaker's and landed in his office. Later she became his secretary, then his assistant at the world’s fair. During the past year and a half she’s served under him as a promotion expert at Coty’s. “Mr. Whalen’s the most ener-

getic worker in our office,” Mary told me. “He’s on the job at nine in the morning and frequently stays until late in the evening.” Mary exploded a couple of myths about Grover Whalen. His clothes tastes are conservative, she said. He runs to somber colors. She's seldom seen him with the: traditional carnation int his lapel. The Whalens live in Washington Mews, one of the city’s most picturesque streets. The Mews extends for a single block at the foot near Washington square. : If you stroll down the narro cobble-stone street, you'll see a

weathered American flag hanging from the second-story of a white-

Mary Jarzick lives only a couple of blocks away at 39 Fifth ave. She shares an apartment with her sister, Elizabeth. Gay, rose chintz draperies and upholstery covers give a cheery touch to the cream-walled living room. A chair and love-seat done in American beauty satin pick up the color of the rose pattern. “During my 11 years in New York, I've lived within three hlocks of this apartment,” Miss Jarzick told me. “My sister, Mrs. Read Gerard, has an apartment in the next building, 41 Fifth ave.

JUST BECAUSE shoe rationing is now in effect, it doesn’t mean that you should change your buying habits entirely. Buy sensible shoes—but don’t change price ranges. If you always paid $12.50 for a pair of shoes, go on paying that much if you want to— says OPA—but if you've bought cheaper shoes, rationing shouldn't make you switch. The army now gets all the higher grade leather, so that the only major difference between expensive and inexpensive shoes will be design and workmanship. ;
